For starters, I wanna say that I am VERY happy. I had been extremely over-estimating the size of the Dominican Republic. I will be staying in Santo Domingo, so I was only looking at areas like San Cristobal, San Pedro, etc. as possible side-trips. Today, I was at Barnes and Noble and looked inside a Lonely Planet guide. Caribe tours from SD to Santiago is only 1.5 hours, and under $10 USD. I could literally go every day if I wanted and not feel any sort of dent in my budget (travel-wise). I was seriously shocked.
I'm going to look at the trip from SD to Cabarete as well. Now, I may finally get to see all of these fancy places you guys always talk about here.
P.S.- I know it had been mentioned to me previously that I could make these trips quite easily and somewhat inexpensive, but I thought you guys meant "expat inexpensive", not poor youngin from NYC inexpensive.
No question here. I just wanted to express my joy.
